Personal life
Rabin was born at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem on 1 March 1922, Mandatory Palestine, to Nehemiah (1886 – 1 November 1937) and Rosa (née Cohen), the third wave of Jewish immigration to Palestine from Europe. Nehemiah Rubitzov was born in the Shtetl Sydorovychi near Ivankiv in the southern Pale of Settlement (present-day Ukraine). Menachem died as a youth, and Nehemiah began to care for his family from an early age. He immigrated to the United States, where he joined the Poale Zion party and changed his name to Rabin at the age of 18. Nehemiah Rabin, a 1917 volunteer from the Jewish Legion, moved to Mandatory Palestine with a group of volunteers.
Rosa Cohen, Yitzhak's mother, was born in 1890 in Mogilev, Belarus. Rosa's father, a rabbin, opposed the Zionist movement and sent her to a Christian high school for girls in Gomel, which gave her a broad general education. Rosa took an interest in political and social concerns early on. She travelled to Palestine on the steamship Ruslan in 1919. She relocated to Jerusalem after being on the shores of a kibbutz on the coasts of Galilee.
During the 1920 Nebi Musa riots in Jerusalem, Rabin's parents gathered in Jerusalem. In 1923, the family migrated to Chlenov Street in Tel Aviv, near Jaffa. Nehemiah began working with the Palestine Electric Corporation, and Rosa was an accountant and local activist. She became a member of the Tel Aviv City Council. The family moved to a two-room apartment on Tel Aviv's Hamagid Street in 1931.
Yitzhak (Isaac) Rabin grew up in Tel Aviv, where his family migrated when he was one year old. In 1928, he registered in the Tel Aviv Beit Hinuch Leyaldei Ovdim ("Workers' Children") and finished his studies there in 1935. Agriculture as well as Zionism was taught at the academy. Rabin obtained high marks in school, but he was so shy that few people knew he was intelligent.
Rabin enrolled in 1935 at a kibbutz Hashlosha school that his mother founded in kibbutz Givat Hashlosha. Rabin first military education began in 1936 at the age of 14 in Haganah, learning how to use a pistol and standing guard. HaNoar HaOved, a socialist-Zionist youth movement, has been active in HaNoar HaOved.
He enrolled at the Kadoorie Agricultural High School for two years in 1937. He excelled in a variety of agriculture-related fields, but he hated studying English language—the British "enemy" language. He aspired to be an irrigation engineer but his involvement in military affairs soared in 1938, as the ongoing Arab revolt devolved. Yigal Allon, a young Haganah sergeant who later became a general in the IDF and a well-known politician, trained Rabin and others in Kadoorie. In August 1940, Rabin finished at Kadoorie. The British closed Kadoorie in 1939, and Rabin joined Allon as a military policeman at Kibbutz Ginosar before the school reopened. Rabin considered studying irrigation engineering on scholarship at the University of California, Berkeley, but he ultimately decided to stay and fight in Palestine.
Military career
Rabin joined the newly formed Palmach section of the Haganah in 1941, during his practical experience with kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, who was under the influence of Yigal Allon. Rabin was unable to operate a machine gun, drive a vehicle, or ride a motorcycle, but Moshe Dayan accepted the new recruit. He was first aiding the allied invasion of Lebanon, then Vichy French forces took over (the same operation in which Dayan lost his eye) in June–July 1941. Allon continued to prepare the teen Palmach forces.
Rabin and his men were expected to remain low to prevent the British administration from arousing an investigation. They spent the majority of their time raising cattle and training part-time. They wore no uniforms and had no public recognition at the time, and there were no such newspapers in the United States at the time. Rabin commanded a platoon at Kfar Giladi in 1943. He trained his guys in modern tactics and how to launch lightning strikes.
Following the end of the war, the Palmach and British authorities' relationship became strained, particularly in terms of Jewish immigration policy. Rabin conducted a Palmach raid on the Atlit detention camp, which had released 208 Jewish illegal immigrants who had been interned there. Rabin was arrested and detained for five months in the Black Shabbat, a massive British operation against the leaders of the Jewish Establishment in Palestine and the Palmach. He became the commander of the second Palmach battalion and rose to the position of Chief Operating Officer of the Palmach in October 1947.
Rabin commanded Israeli operations in Jerusalem and fought the Egyptian army in the Negev during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War Rabin directed Israeli operations in Jerusalem and confronted the Egyptian army in Jerusalem. He was the commander of the Harel Brigade, which fought on the road to Jerusalem from the coastal plain, including the Israeli "Burma Road" and several battles in Jerusalem, including capture of kibbutz Ramat Rachel.
During the first war, Rabin commanded IDF forces on Tel Aviv's beach confronting the Irgun during the Altalena Affair.
He was deputy commander of Operation Danny, the country's biggest scale operation that included four IDF brigades, for the next four months. As part of the operation, the cities of Ramle and Lydda, as well as the main airport in Lyddda, were captured. Following the capture of the two towns, the Arab population of the two towns was expelled from the country. Rabin signed the expulsion order, which also included the following:
Later, Rabin was in charge of operations for the Southern Front and was involved in several major battles that ended the war, including Operation Yoav and Operation Horev.
He was a founding member of the Israeli delegation to the armistice talks with Egypt that were held on the island of Rhodes in 1949. The results of the talks were the 1949 Armistice Agreements, which brought an end to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war's official hostilities. Following his demobilization at the end of the war, he was the most senior (former) Palmach who remained in the IDF.
Rabin, like many Palmach leaders, was politically aligned with the left-wing Ahdut HaAvoda party and later Mapam. These servicemen were distrusted by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, and several officers resigned from the army in 1953 following a string of conflicts. Those who remained in Mapam, including Rabin, Haim Bar-Lev, and David Elazar, had to spend several years in administrative or training positions before resuming their careers.
Rabin served as the head of Israel's Northern Command from 1956 to 1959. Levi Eshkol, who had previously dismissed David Ben-Gurion as Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, appointed him as the head of staff of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 1964. Eshkol had no military expertise and trusted Rabin's decision, so he had a very free hand. Eshkol followed Rabin "with closed eyes," according to his Eshkol's military secretary's memoirs.
The IDF won the Six-Day War in 1967 under his command. Rabin was one of the first to visit the Old City of Jerusalem by the IDF and delivered a moving address on Mount Scopus at the Hebrew University. Rabin had suffered a nervous breakdown and was unable to function in the days leading up to the war. After this brief hiatus, he regained complete control over the IDF.
